Abstract
An electronic assembly includes a substrate and at least one surface mounted electronic component. The substrate includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side of the substrate includes a plurality of conductive traces formed thereon. The plurality of conductive traces includes a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace. The electronic component is electrically coupled between the first and second conductive traces. A component body of the electronic component is subject to interaction with a flux, which is utilized during electrical coupling of the electronic component to the first and second conductive traces, to form a current leakage path. The substrate is configured to prevent the formation of the current leakage path.
